Sephora Six - Fast & Furious Edition

[danielledanielle]

So, I've been challenging myself to do a full-ish face in about six minutes.  Have not succeeded yet ‌😭‌‌😅‌, so I'm looking to BIC for some tips to get past the finish line.

I want to know six products, any category, you use to get that quick glam.  Bonus if it includes skincare.  Double bonus if you've timed yourself and it's less than 7 minutes (if you include skincare, 10-15 min).

****WEEK OF MARCH 24-30TH***

Collab'ing with Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge & Re: Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022/2023

Cross ❌ post across 1-3 threads all your fast fierceness!

  (I really don't, though Don) 

Today I had-   

GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight Captivate, Lancôme SKIN FEELS GOOD Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 23 in Radiant Tan, Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion – Caffeine Caffeine , PAT McGRATH LABS PERMA PRECISION Liquid Eyeliner Xtreme Black , Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer Hot Chocolit .

[danielledanielle]

@sister13, Great tips!  Heh...didn't think about the "in transit" makeup.  I usually do my brows during my skincare, so if I absolutely have to leave I at least have some definition in my face.  It also creates a buffer or dry down time during skincare when I use eye masks.   I think I've done liner on the train twice.  And that was scary for me, 😂 .   

Didn't think about multichromes, going to have to give that a try.

[CynthieLu]

@danielledanielle I feel the same, I would prefer to leave with my brows already finished. I love the feeling of brow confidence.

There only thing I like applying on the go id lip balms, oils and glosses.. or maybe a tint.

@sister13 I am amazed at anyone who can apply makeup on the go in a vehicle. That's skills! 

[danielledanielle]

Today I used:

Ami Colé Skin-Enhancing Lightweight & Blurring Foundation Stick 

Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml 

Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Romance 

GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 5 

Hourglass Hourglass Unlocked Defining and Lengthening Tubing Mascara Ultra Black(thank you @TeamBIC ) instead of the Tiger palette.  Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick Dune was my eye crease color and cheek color 

[Guessgal]

This is an absolutely genius idea, @danielledanielle ! I definitely need to try this challenge (although, I'll probably fail the first few times 😂). I like your idea of using a lip oil as part of your quick look; I was thinking of using a clear gloss for no fuss, but that might be too boring of me! Will try to time myself this weekend! 🙌🏻

[danielledanielle]

@Guessgal, awww yay thanks!

I've had some practice before the week started, so don't let the time limit deter you.  I'm doing this in triplicate with Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge and the Re: Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022/2023 .  Check out those threads for additional inspo or just review @sister13 's five minute face... So impressive.

[CynthieLu]

I feel like those would all be no fuss @danielledanielle I imagine you got a good overall time out of these. 🙂

[CynthieLu]

This is a fun experiment @danielledanielle I love the idea of challenging myself to have a quicker and more concise routine. I tried this morning with

🌷Natasha Denona My Dream Eyeshadow Palette 

🌺SEPHORA COLLECTION Love The Lift Curling + Volumizing Mascara Ultra Black 

🌸Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed - Matte Color for Cheek & Lip Bellini 

🌹Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation with Peptides + Ceramides 16

🪻 Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain Mai Type 

🌻 Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz® Ultra-Slim Precision Detailing Eyebrow Pencil Soft Brown 

At 11:42 seconds I was so proud of myself but then realized I had completely forgotten Mascara and my Lippie, finished at 15:55 😅😅

This was so challenging

[danielledanielle]

@CynthieLu, it was a good effort though and within 16 minutes!  Did you find that it made starting the day easier due to the time, or was it the same?

[CynthieLu]

I think I have mixed feelings. It was easier, because I got everything done so fast compared to my more relaxed routine. But I don't know if I enjoy speed. Lol. 😆 ( Specifically fast brows are haaaard)

I did have fun thou 🙂 So I'm definitely going too try again. Maybe my competive side wants to see if I can improve, and learn a thing or two about time management in the morning. @danielledanielle 

[danielledanielle]

@CynthieLu, hmmm I can get that, extra time spent on makeup is intentional whether it's preference, having the time, self-care, etc.  Do try it again though, if anything it's also an exercise in technique.

[CynthieLu]

I know I will. 😉 My mind is already thinking and planning ways to improve @danielledanielle. I got the spark. Lol.

Ooh doing my brows can go so smooth.. or just fussy and frustrating sometimes.

For my next attempt I'm thinking have everything ready and close by,Choose an easier fished look. (This morning I had big ambitions.) And I think I can work with this. 🙂

[danielledanielle]

So today I chose

Ami Colé Skin-Enhancing Lightweight & Blurring Foundation Stick , Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick Flame , GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 5 , Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml , Supergoop! 100% Mineral (Re)setting Powder Face Sunscreen SPF 35 Medium and Hourglass Unlocked Tiger palet

Time: forgot to time it for skincare, but ..

 

The trick/key to this IMO is two fold, products you know well, so user error is minimal and you can be quick.  The other trick is having a multitasking palette or stick.

[itsfi]

100% agree @danielledanielle - having a multitasking product and working with items you're familiar with makes 'quick and easy' that much easier! Using products that I could apply with just my fingers also seemed to do the trick. I may try applying my base with a beautyblender later this week to see how that affects my time, if at all. 

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi, yes!  I prefer using brushes, but I feel like mo' brushes, mo' problems 🤣 because I want to constantly add, correct and blend.  I can definitely see fingers and blenders as another time shaving method.

[CynthieLu]

Wow! That's so fast @danielledanielle 🎉 Congratulations!! You did it!

[danielledanielle]

Thank you @CynthieLu , I came prepared for the week.  Lots of product consideration was made 🤣

[CynthieLu]

I can tell, you came and conquered! 🙌 @danielledanielle 

I am going to try again and be much for prepared lol. Gotta shave off a few minutes at least. 😉

[itsfi]

Okay, I did a test this morning of my capsule for this coming week. 

My 6 products for that quick glam -

How did I do?

[sister13]

So detailed @itsfi , great job with the challenge! I’ll time myself tomorrow!

[itsfi]

@sister13, this was a fun challenge. That multi-product pen definitely helped with making a quick & easy look.

[danielledanielle]

So, I was able to pull together a look with:

Ami Colé Skin-Enhancing Lightweight & Blurring Foundation Stick 

Supergoop! 100% Mineral (Re)setting Powder Face Sunscreen SPF 35 Medium 

GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 5 

Hourglass Ambient™ Lighting Edit Universe Face Palette - Universe Unlocked(tiger palette)

Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml 

Poundcake Beauty Lipstick in Bloodberry

And I did it with my skincare in less than twelve minutes.  I skipped a serum (I forgot 🤣) and defaulted to using the powder as sunscreen.  I get sunscreen in Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hydra Vizor Mineral SPF 30 Refillable Moisturizer , too, so while I love the Kinlo, I skipped it for time.
